When it comes to cosmetics, you’ve been told that less is more for women of a certain age. That’s good, because with everything on your to-do list, your beauty regimen is currently falling somewhere between organizing your children’s artwork and replacing your gutters. So if you’re taking the fresh-face approach a little too literally, it may be time to toss your Bobbie Browns (circa 1995) and update your look By Julez.
Bergen based, hip makeup-artist JuleMarie “Julez” Linter, is like that favorite gal-pal who will come right to your doorstep, so your face can look flawless even on a snow day. Her technique is developed from years of working for MAC and Nars (she and Francios are on a first name basis), and is designed to enhance what your mama gave you, leaving you feeling like a more beautiful version of yourself. “I focus on great natural looking, well-groomed beauty; flawless skin, perfect brows and fluffy lashes,” she says, and with her quick wielding of various brushes and sponges, Julez pulls it off.
We loved her “Basic Makeup” package ($55 per session), which left our skin looking even and radiant and made our eyes pop with a touch of white liner, but you can go more glam and add a “Smokey Eye” to the package, and we can promise you won’t end up looking like a raccoon. To achieve her various looks, Julez uses custom-blended foundations and powders, eye shadows and long-lasting rich formula lipsticks from the fully customizable cosmetics line, Motives. And bonus: no purchase is required. But if you get tons of props for your lip gloss color and it leaves you wanting more, all of the products are available through her website. Have a favorite brand of shadow that you want to incorporate? No problem, Julez can work with any makeup out there.
So book a session with Julez for your next big night out or for Valentine’s Day. You don’t even need to get a babysitter to glam up. And if a professional make-up application every Saturday night isn’t in the budget (those pesky camp bills!), opt for Julez’s “Makeup 101” training session ($90 per session) so you can learn how to “put on your face” from the expert herself and bring your sparkle back.
And it won’t cost you the crown jewels.
